Still cursed
Specs:
90 STD Hatch
SOHC ZC
ZC intake
Stock
What happened:
Drove car to the store, parked, came back out, attempted to restart, nothing.
Checked:
Main relay, grounds, starter, fuel pump, dizzy, battery.
Replaced:
Fuel pump because it decided to seem to die shortly after this happened. A few days later after the car decided to stop working, when attempting to turn it over one more time the pump didn't click so I just replaced it. It was probably the original anyways.
I've checked the nodes/connections on the main relay. They were find, I did a continuity test on the relay, as shown to do via honda website's that other people have linked me.
Battery+starter were recently replaced before car died as well so those aren't the problem.
I get spark, weak but I do get it.
When I checked all the connectors/parts on the dizzy the ignitor didn't check out correctly. But as I read through the links posted, if the ignitor has crapped out then you won't get ANY spark. I get spark.
Engine is a SOHC ZC that was only replaced 6 months ago. The engine drove/ran fine that whole period as well.
I am not getting any codes.
Links to check other crap out would even be fine.
Thank you.

I've also replaced my fuel filter/cap & rotor for *****.
Even if I'm getting weak spark you guys would think it's still the ignitor?
Yes. Weak spark is weak spark. You have to have enough spark to have a motor fire. Weak spark can just be blown out by the upstroke of the motor.
And yes they'll test them. Autozone did mine. I'd replace them both at the same time. When one goes out, the other is shortly on it's way too.

I'll definitely go and get them tested @ autozone though, thanks for the headsup.
